LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!! I will be in attendance, hopefully a good game tonight!!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

@AGrossRecord:
That would be: Kreider-Stepan-Richards, Pouliot-Brassard-Miller, Pyatt-Boyle-Dorsett, Fast-D. Moore-Zuccarello.
And McDonagh-Girardi, Staal-Stralman, J. Moore-Del Zotto. As reported, Mashinter and Falk are the healthy scratches.

And Budaj is in net tonight for the Habs, not Price!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

[Pastafazul]

[stealth]

Johnny D and Pasta!

New season MSG and a Ranger first goal would be nice!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sup Pasta! Just waiting for some of the games to start. Good luck to your Rangers, hope my Pens could snap out of their funk.

 

[David_son]

Yeah AV lines always confuse me I would put Fast and Zucc on the same line why put Fast with Pyatt and Boyle they are more grinders put them with Dorsett.

they need a speed guy on the line to skate the offensive zone, he'll probably take the shots

 

[David_son]

But then they can just put the defense toward him to negate him because they could always compensate on the rush to the slower guys. Fast probably not going to go in and grind like the other two. I can see your point I would just put everyone with similar styles on a line that way that all forwards are doing the same thing. especially the 4th line which isnt there for their scoring ability.

true but they need to look at him possibly for upper line status in the future, there isnt any room for the top 3 but they still need that look

 

[Pastafazul]

[David_son]

I guess he did put it Pyatt Boyle and Dorset.

 

[Pastafazul]

[Pastafazul]

[Pastafazul]

[Pastafazul]

[Pastafazul]

[David_son]

Yeah our offense is terrible how can you not score on the Backup.

 

[Pastafazul]
